Hi, I'm already walking but I'd like to add some wrist weights into it. Any suggestions? Are there extra benefits from wrist/ankle weights?

There are absolutely benefits. The added weights will help you add a little extra muscle and burn a few extra calories.

However, I would speed up the pace too if you haven't done that yet. It also might be nice to vary it up once in a while.....walking at a faster pace without weights one day, and then with weights a little slower maybe.

I agree on speeding up the pace before adding weights, but weights are good too! I say go for it!
